Semua Bab Kicking Him to the Curb: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Aspen stood at the door, still holding the documents that needed approval. She looked at the two of them wrapped in their little dramatic moment and felt nothing but amusement. Without saying anything extra, she simply held out the papers and said, "Mr. Fuller, sign this."Her cold, professional tone sent Colin over the edge. He snapped, "Aspen, you vicious woman! Can't you see Gwen is bleeding?"His voice dropped into a growl, eyes locked on Aspen with fury. "If you hadn't been deliberately making things difficult for her, Gwen wouldn't have relapsed into depression or hurt herself. Are you seriously not going to be satisfied until you drive her to her death?" Aspen glanced at Gwyneth trembling in Colin's arms, and her lips curled into a cold, humorless smile. She had never once received that kind of care from Colin—never his concern nor his tenderness. All she had ever gotten were complaints and cold words. Even so, she had stupidly loved him for years. Now, that love just fe

If Aspen had never found out that Colin had something to do with Sophie's death, she might have walked away from Fuller Group with nothing. But now, even a single cent missing was out of the question."You're delusional!" Colin scoffed and shoved her hard in the shoulder, knocking her back onto the couch.Then, without hesitation, he tossed a folder right at her. "Sign it, and you're officially the project manager."The corner of the document cut Aspen's cheek as it hit her face. It wasn't deep, but it still drew blood. She winced and picked up the file, flipping through every page carefully. After confirming everything was correct, she calmly signed her name at the bottom.Without missing a beat, she opened a drawer and pulled out the settlement agreement she had prepared days ago. As she handed it to Colin, she said, "Per our agreement—fair and square." The exchange was straightforward, yet Colin still felt a jolt of fury when he saw the perfectly prepared settlement agreemen

After throwing those heels at Colin, Aspen felt an incredible sense of relief wash over her. Once she finished her slice of chocolate cake, she booted up her laptop and got straight to work on the new project. Since Colin had agreed to her terms, she was determined to make this project a real success.Aren had already given her a full breakdown of Crescent Holdings, so Aspen had a clear understanding of what the company was looking for. With a defined target, it was easy to strategize and precisely tailor her approach.After just a brief moment of thinking, her fingers started flying across the keyboard. Tomorrow, she would be meeting the tech team in person. These tech guys were usually pretty straightforward. With them, it was less about politics and more about skill. Whoever had the most talent got the most respect. When it came to first impressions, Aspen had every intention of earning their respect through sheer capability. By the time the night was over, Aspen already ha

Aspen knew that the better she performed, the stronger Fuller Group would become. That way, with time, it would only become easier to get what she wanted. With her goals clearly mapped out, all her actions became sharper, more methodical....Meanwhile, at Jefferson Corp, Eric burst into Aren's office, looking visibly flustered as he reported, "Mr. Jefferson, are you aware that Aspen's already joined the tech department at Fuller Group?" Aren glanced at him and couldn't help but smirk. He blinked slowly and said, "What's the panic? Weren't you the one who used to complain about her the most? Why are you secretly keeping tabs on her now?"Eric got even more worked up. "I don't care about her personally, but if she's in the tech department and starts teaming up with Colin, we're screwed. We won't have the power to stop them."Although he didn't like Aspen, he had to admit that she was the real deal when it came to skills.Aren, however, looked completely unbothered and even a litt

"Colin is definitely not a great example of how a boss should act," Aspen said with a smirk. "You're just an overworked employee, and cussing him out is practically your right. Honestly, even I want to curse him too sometimes."She added, "But just venting doesn't help. It'll only get you into trouble, so I hope you can stay calm and think clearly about your next move. Oh, and about your bonus—don't stress. I'll cover it. No way I'm letting an employee feel unappreciated. You agree, right?"Aspen kept her tone light as she walked over and grabbed a few napkins, wiping the coffee off the table until it was spotless. At the end of the day, a job was a job—who one worked for didn't matter as much as how well they handled their business.Riley watched her from behind, lost in thought. Aspen had seen everything that had happened behind closed doors, and he couldn't help but feel a little unsettled.On the other hand, Aspen knew that if she hadn't transferred to the tech department, th
